"I have been taking classes with Suebeet since last year to help improve my Korean language skills. I have noticed all areas of improvement since taking h

er lessons: reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, listening, and speaking. She uses various resources (online video and textbooks) to make lessons interesting and challenging. She focuses on areas that you might need more work on and will also adjust the lessons to spend more time on things that you want to go over. Lessons with her are easygoing and professional. I recommend her to anyone interested in learning and improving their Korean language skills."

"Awesome!! time passed by flying, Ryan's method of teaching is great. He teachs depending on your level and he improves your skills by doing some fun activ

ities. Makes learning easy. Ryan is a great teacher. He is very patient and caring. He tried using different methods to help me to comprehend quicker and easier. Also at the end of the lesson, he allowed some time to discuss any concern I might have. I like the Ryan's style because he challenges you. It often feels like immersion in the language which I think is the most natural way to learn a new language."

"Georgina was amazing. Not only was she patient she also made her class fun, and there was times where I couldn't wait to learn the next week. Although my

Javier D.

About Javier

Hola, cómo estás? I am a certified native teacher. I love teaching, and have all my life. I was born in Madrid, Spain, and I now live in California. My native born language skills, immersed here in America, make me an excellent option for a tutor. In my opinion, it is highly recommended to get a native tutor for learning a foreign language.I am certified to teach through Sonorele Learning Awareness, in Spain.

I know how to teach you Spanish in the best way, with fun and effective classes, with patience, and with speaking slowly and clearly. You will learn proper pronunciation, our express

ions, our culture and our customs, by enjoying and practicing with me, through one on one conversation, exercises, repetition, and homework.

In regards to how I teach, I incorporate the essential modalities of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. By practicing with all these forms, you will feel success in a few classes.I am flexible with my hours, and I am available to travel to meet personally or to do a class online, either individually or in a small group. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve excellence in your studies!

Muchas gracias por tu atención.Saludos,Javier

I am an adult beginner in Spanish and needed to learn the language quickly for some upcoming travel. Javier has done a wonderful job at making me feel comfortable with my pronunciation and I feel that I am progressing at a good pace. His lessons are educational and fun and his homework assignments are very worthwhile. I can recommend him for beginners all the way to advanced Spanish as it is his native language and his teaching methods are perfect for absorbing and remembering the idiosyncrasies as well as the general rules for the Spanish language in terms of grammar, structure and pronunciation. You will not find a more personable, effective or informed Spanish teacher.

I am a beginner in Spanish and have taken lessons with Javier for several months now. He is a fantastic teacher and makes the lessons fun and informative--and he makes sure my pronunciation is correct. I am an adult and thoroughly enjoy his teaching style and energy. He would be good for any level student and I recommend him highly.

I love teaching ASL so much for it is my passion. I am a fun ASL teacher and you will love how fast you learn ASL. Sign up now. You can find my youtube videos online. My background includes having deaf parents and daughters that are deaf so I have been using ASL all of my life as it's my first language and I am a CODA (child of deaf parents). I have taught k-12 deaf students for over 30 years. My favorite subject is teaching American Sign Language (all levels) and interpreting which I taught at the local college for over 20 years. I have lifetime teaching credentials for k-12 and community col

Frank N.

About Frank

I am from Peru, which is where I started my career in teaching. For nearly four years I taught Spanish as a Second Language to American young adults who were preparing to serve Spanish-speaking missions in South America.

Additionally, I was a Spanish editor. I developed great attention to detail and excelled in the correct and elegant use of the Spanish language.

Lately, I have worked as a Spanish Instructor for Language Bird in Los Angeles. During that time, I taught students and career professionals from the basic, intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish.

I am very capable in a

dapting and customizing lessons to fit your learning style. I would be able to help you develop your Spanish language skills in the areas of reading comprehension, writing, grammar, listening and speaking.

It would be a pleasure to meet with you at your convenience to discuss my qualifications, as well as any Spanish language needs you may have.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

So far I have taken 8 lessons with Frank. For the first lesson, he arrived on time and with a lesson plan that seemed built just for me, based on the initial questionnaire I filled out. Since that first lesson he has been very punctual and fully prepared for the lesson of the day. I have enjoyed my lessons with Frank who is a patient and very knowledgeable tutor. Tutoring is a slow and painful process, but Frank seems to enjoy it and cares that he does the best he can for his student. If you are looking for a tutor to teach you Spanish, I don't think you will be disappointed by hiring Frank for the job.

I have a girlfriend in France and I wanted to surprise her by learning the language. I bought a book but I was struggling with pronunciation and grammar rules. Sini helped me get my accent on and speak conversational and correct French. We had a lot of fun and got some good results!
